CORONER WARNS PAREANTS - An
inquest was held by the Norwich City Coroner on .Saturday
afternoon. on the body of the six-days old male child
of Ernest Charles Taylor, aged 21, a draper's
assistant, of 40, Carshalton Road. The father said
that the baby slept. in a cot until it woke up, after
which it slept in bed between its parents. On the
pie¦ious night his wife was unable to waken
the child, and it was subsequently found to have been
suffocated.
The Coroner said he had repeatedly warned parents
of the danger of taking their babies into bed with
them to sleep. He thought that it should be made an
offence to do so, provided the local authorities gave
facilities for the prevision of cots to those who
could not afford to buy them. He considered the present
case as a serious one, as the parents had been advised
both by the nurse and the lady health visitor that
the child should be put in its cot to sleep at night.
Dr. R. J. Mills suggested that a leaflet should
be drawn up and distributed to young parents warning
them of the dangerous practice of taking children
into bed with them.
